Remarks from the Ministry of Education
Education Minister Joseph Nsengimana welcomed the results and highlighted a significant change in how they were released. Previously, results were announced in December, which often caused delays for students who failed and needed to repeat.
“This new approach will help successful students move quickly to universities, while those who did not pass will also have enough time to prepare to repeat and begin their studies together with others,” Minister Nsengimana explained.
Recognition of Top Performers
Students who excelled across different categories were recognized for their hard work and determination. They received awards and were encouraged to maintain discipline and excellence as they transition to university life.
